Deb, you have done it again!! I am going to try my hand at your bird. I had a disaster on some drawer fronts, that included many failed transfers (I kept trying) and some poor base coat painting. Anyways, I think I may be able to save them with your awesome picture. I love them all but the bird will fit the best on the drawer front. If I can get it done before Christmas I will send you a pic! Thanks so much for the inspiration!!

I have spent today ( of f and on) going thru all your posts! You have inspired me to at least try to make an antiqued sign. I am going to start laying in supplies so after holidays I can start! Love your blog !

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'm the girl who was sent out of art class back in 1963 cause there wasn't a drop of talent in my hands. How I'd love to go back to that teacher and present him with an album of all the wedding gowns, home fashions and decorated cakes that sent two children to college. And now I can paint! I CAN REALLY PAINT!!!

Yeah sure I could paint any of those. Maybe the tree or the choose joy sign but the bird, oh me do I wish I could. I am so enthralled at your talent. Love the style you use, is there a name for it? I can see something on one of these link parties and know it's yours. Was this something you just started doing or did you got to school to learn? So many people seem to be able to do painting like you do with a natural talent and seem to know what and how to do it. My Dad was an oil painter but it seems that talent jumped over me, lol. I do different kinds of things, mostly paper crafts seems to be my niche. Hope I have a niche. Paper craft projects I do seem to turn out better than other type of things so that's why I call it my niche. From reading your comments it looks like you have inspired a few folks. Another talent you have. What would you charge for your bird project? I'd sure love to have it in our home. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas to you and yours.
